I esteem independent films, but the truth is that some of them you have to chop a small bit of late due to their lack of resources. But not NAPOLEON DYNAMITE. Seeing this was one of the most enjoyable, unexpected pleasures that I have had in a movie in a long, long time. Most high school comedies dealing with school nerds are a bit of a cheat, because the nerds are never really as nerdy as the ones we all knew or (or perhaps were) in high school. My popular TV demonstrate is BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, but I could never really occupy the ultra-cute Alyson Hannigan as a school nerd. But not so Napoleon Dynamite, his friend Pedro, or Deb, the reserved and terrified girl he has a crush on.

No explanation is made of Napoleon’s name, but any Elvis Costello fan knows that in the 1980s he declared that he would no longer be known as Elvis Costello, but instead as Napoleon Dynamite, under which name he released what may have been his last sizable album, BLOOD AND CHOCOLATE. The producers have independently declared that they were unaware of that and chose the name without reference to Elvis Costello. This is, of course, utterly absurd, about as believable as someone making a movie with the lead character named Anna Karenina but claiming to be ignorant that Tolstoy had a character by that name.
The movie depicts the private hell that is the life of Napoleon Dynamite, a hopelessly inept misfit at Preston High School in Idaho, apparently without any friends at all until he stumbles upon a novel Hispanic student Pedro, who apparently is incapable of speaking any word with more than one syllable or of smiling (until the very demolish of the film) . Napoleon makes nerds ogle wintry. School is such hell for Napoleon that it seems perfectly normal for one kid as he is walking down the hall to body slam him up against his locker. It isn’t impartial that he is clueless, he is cursed; he not only thinks it is OK to stuff tater tots into his pocket, unwrapped, for snacking on later, it is inevitable that another kid will crush them in his pocket when he refuses to section.

If Napoleon’s life is dreadful at school, it is as terrible at home. We are clueless as to the whereabouts or fate of his parents, but his slacker and equally nerdy brother provides neither companionships nor solace, and when his grandmother injures herself in a ATV sand dune accident, his Uncle Rico, a fortyish Peter Pan so desperately yearning for 1982 that he orders a home made time move machine over the Internet, who is as pathetic in his contain arrangement as either Napoleon or his brother Kip.
Plot is not really vital in the film; the process of Napoleon’s life is. This could easily have been a dreadful film, but director Jered Hess (born, by the plot, in Preston, Idaho), who co-wrote the screenplay with his wife Jerusha, displays throughout a deft touch at keeping things captivating and comical instead of merely amusing. The actors are all worthy, though for the most fraction arrive unknowns. I recognized only two performers, one being Diedrich Bader, who has been in a number of roles over the years, perhaps more memorably in OFFICE Plot as the protagonist’s next door neighbor, with whom he would have conversations through the wall. Here he has a hysterical stint as an absurd martial arts instructor. I also knew Tina Majorino, who has been in a number of films over the years, primarily as a child. She does a huge job as Deb, though her role (as is Napoleon’s) is a bit of a cheat on the audience. They invent her up to be as unattractive as possible, when she is, in fact, quite a cutie, as the improved hair-do at the extinguish of the film proves. The cheat with Napoleon is the fact that he . . . well, I won’t spoil things. Let’s impartial say that by the destroy of the film he isn’t the helpless nerd we imagine. I especially enjoyed Efren Ramirez as the monosyllabic Pedro. He underplays his role to the point of parody.
I do highly recommend this movie. NAPOLEON DYNAMITE is a thoroughly modern, fun, and comic film, that isn’t quite like anything else I’ve seen. One might say that it is not unlike a male-oriented version of WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE region in rural Idaho.
First, he gives 3 stars to “Garfield,” quite possibly the worst film of all time. Then, he gives “Napoleon Dynamite” half the full cat’s rating: 1 1/2 stars. His criticism? “We can laugh at comedies like this for two reasons: Because we feel first-rate to the characters, or because we pity or like them.” He claims not to do the feeble, and excuses his failure to do the latter by saying “the movie makes no attempt to manufacture him likable.”
I must admit, you can’t succor but eye down on many of the characters in this film. Napoleon’s older brother, his uncle, the favorite crowd at school. But, notably, *not* Napoleon himself, his crush Deb, or their friend Pedro, geeks though they are. (Deb seems to be aware of her plot, whereas Napoleon and, to a lesser degree, Pedro, are *so* geeky they don’t even realize it.) No likability? Maybe Ebert unbiased doesn’t like nerds–but have me, glimpse the movie and you’ll rep yourself rooting for those three to come by what they want.
Ebert says “Napoleon Dynamite” went over enormous at Sundance but that this was the result of Sundance audiences’ worry with their image, and if they had behaved honestly, they would have been “sit[ting] through this film in dismal silence.”
Well, there was no discouraged silence in the theater when I saw it–just continuous laughter. And something tells me the Saturday matinee audience at the University District Metro Cinemas is nowhere approach as concerned with their image as they’d have to be for *that* to be responsible for their reaction.
Do yourself a favor, ignore Ebert, and contemplate this movie!
